You have a Father who loves you more than any other human being on this planet ever has or ever will. Nothing you can do today will make God love you any more, and nothing you can do today will make God love you any less. Jesus wants to free us from the preoccupation of getting from God so that we can simply live in the reality of what God gives. As long as your personal well-being depends on someone else’s actions, you will manipulate them. Christian community is a gift that God gives not something human effort can produce. Community is not based on need, but on the joy of sharing relationship with fellow-travelers. When you realize sin doesn’t make you worthless it just makes you lost, you will know God’s compassion for people caught in sin, not contempt for them. God wants to demonstrate his love for the world in the naturalness of our lives living transformed and that is far more powerful than anything we can say.
